SAFETY
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
- Disconnect the power supply before working on
the welding machine.
- Do not work with deteriorated cable sheaths.
- Do not touch bare electrical parts.
- Ensure that all the panels covering the welding
machine are firmly secured in place when the
machine is connected to the mains supply.
- Insulate yourself from the work bench and from
the floor (ground): use insulating footwear and
gloves.
- Keep gloves, footwear, clothes, the work area
and this equipment clean and dry.
PRESSURISED CONTAINERS CAN EXPLODE
IF WELDED.
When working with a welding machine:
- do not weld pressurised containers .
- do not weld in environments containing explosive
powders or vapours.
THE RADIATIONS GENERATED BY THE
WELDING ARC CAN DAMAGE THE EYES AND
CAUSE BURNING OF THE SKIN.
- Provide suitable protection for the eyes and body.
- It is indispensable for contact lens wearers to
protect themselves with suitable lenses and
masks.
NOISE CAN DAMAGE YOUR HEARING.
- Protect yourself suitably to avoid hearing
damage.
FUMES AND GASES CAN DAMAGE YOUR
HEALTH.
- Keep your head out of the reach of fumes.
- Provide suitable ventilation of the work area.
- If the ventilation is not sufficient, use an exhaust
system that sucks from the bottom.
HEAT, SPLASHES OF MOLTEN METAL AND
SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRES.
- Do not weld near inflammable materials.
- Avoid having any type of fuel with you such as
cigarette lighters or matches.
- The welding arc can cause burns. Keep the tip of
the electrode far from your body and from other
persons.
PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC SHOCKS
Take the following precautions when working with
a welding machine:
- keep yourself and your clothes clean.
- do not be in contact with damp or wet parts when
working with the welding machine.
- maintain suitable insulation against electric
shock. If the operator has to work in a damp
environment, he must take extreme care and wear
insulating footwear and gloves.
- check the machine power cable frequently: it
must be free from damage to the insulation. BARE
CABLES ARE DANGEROUS. Do not use the
machine if the power cable is damaged; it must be
replaced immediately.
- if it is necessary to open the machine, first
disconnect the power supply. Wait 5 minutes to
allow the capacitors to discharge. Failure to take
this precaution may expose the operator to
dangerous risks of electric shock.
- never work with the welding machine if the
protective cover is not in place.
- ensure that the earth connection of the power
supply cable is perfectly efficient.
This machine has been designed for use in a
professional and industrial environment. For other
types of application contact the manufacturer. If
electromagnetic disturbances
are found it is the
responsibility of the machine user to solve the
problem with the technical assistance of the
manufacturer.
It is forbidden for people with PACEMAKERS to
use or come near the machine.
PREVENTION OF BURNS
To protect your eyes and skin from burns and
ultraviolet rays:
- wear dark glasses. Wear suitable clothing, gloves
and footwear.
- use masks with closed sides, having lenses and
protective glass according to standards (degree of
protection DIN 10).
- warn people in the vicinity not to look directly at
the arc.
PREVENTION OF FIRE
Welding produces splashes of molten metal.
